It's cunningly hidden on the topic below this one Martin.

For those of you who are driving up, looking at the latest version of the Charles St Parking website, http://www.estates.manchester.ac.uk/ser ... /carparks/ it says charges are :

Monday-Friday
up to 3 hours - £3.00
3 — 6 hours - £5.00
6 — 10 hours - £8.00
10 — 24 hours - £10.00
Short stay parking - 16:00 - 23:59* - £2.00
Saturday and Sunday until 23:59* - £2.00
*PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU STAY AFTER MIDNIGHT THEN THE £10 OVERNIGHT CHARGE WILL APPLY (EXCEPT ON SATURDAYS)


This seems to suggest that for someone arriving on Friday and leaving Sunday evening the total charge will be:

Friday £10 (the "overnight" rate, which also covers the full day on Friday)
Saturday £2 (daily rate, no overnight charge on Saturday/Sunday)
Sunday £2 (daily rate)
= £14

Just want to record my thanks to Tim, Kevin, Richard, Andy and everyone else involved for another very enjoyable and well organised Britcon event.

Thanks also to all of my opponents - Richard, Paul B, Steve B, Steve C, David & Paul L for 6 very enjoyable games.

And congratulations to Paul Bartlett for winning Britcon and storming to the top of the rankings - well done!

Like Pete I'd like to Congratulate to all the winners, and to the organisers for a well run event.

Also thanks to my opponents, Steve B, Dave M, Pete D, Paul L, Richard C and Gordon J.

Finally I'm sorry to anyone who had to fight more than one of the Swiss armies, In Paul's case he had 2 civil wars to deal with...and to Rob, I hope what ever forced you to go home on Sat is sorted in a positive way

Just a quick note to say I had a great time at my first Britcon (and first FoG competition) with 6 entertaining games in very a friendly atmosphere. It was really nice to get some good solid gaming in over a full weekend.

Many thanks to the organisers for putting this on - I hope to make it next year.

Well done on a great result Paul !! :mrgreen:

Apologies to my last 2 would-be opponents but my dad collapsed Saturday evening and I had to rush back home fearing the worst.

Thankfully we now know it wasn't a heart attack and he was released from hospital yesterday.

Had a great time and I too was lucky with my opponents:
Graham B, Dino, Chris P (and for surviving the 3am session), Malcolm, Greame and Daryl.

Congrats to Graham and Paul and to Pete D not only nearly winning but proving Einstein wrong :D

Thanks to the organisers and especially to Richard J-C whose umpiring decisions were quite splendid - er Andy has just told me he will not be umpiring next times so actually he was a complete dunderhead :shock:
